Bought a versa-climber (a temu version)

[Kforcer]

Shook around so I taped it to the floor with a ton of gorilla tape, which I also did to a yoga stand in order to do dragon-flags. Gorilla tape is strong stuff.

So, as it compares to a Jacob's Ladder, its different. I feel like the Jacob's Ladder feels a bit harder during use but the versa climber makes you feel afterwards like you burned a million calories. It also seems harder, at least right now, to do the versa climber for sustained periods as compared to the Jacob's Ladder. It seems like sprinting on the versa climber again, FEELS easier but can't be sustained for as long and gets you tired quicker.

Anyway, I think its pretty awesome and I recommend by a solid, cheap variant of it. Or maybe the genuine article if you've got the money to kick around. Plus, its pretty fun unlike most cardio (for me at least).

Where the pics sir? Guessing this is the stair climbing device with overhand grips

Edit: Googled it, thats the machine. Those are expensive. If you got it for under $500 and it functions then you got a deal.

Got it for like, 80 bucks? I'll take some picks of the setup when I get a chance. Gorilla Tape is definitely the VIP for it; having it not shake when you're sprinting makes a huge difference.

Another thing about it is that it will kill your calves if you're on the balls of your feet. Which is a good thing I figure, since the whole point is to challenge yourself and burn calories.

If you're sweating then it must be working

Yeah, exactly. I tend to be bone dry when I workout too, so to get me to sweat is not always easy.

Oh I had one during the pandemic until my big ass bent one of the leg pedals.

Crap! What version did you get? A knockoff like I got or the actual Versa Climber?

The knockoff one. Do you have a pic of yours? I actually got mine for free. It was a drop shipper from Ebay. I think I wanted to return it or something but they wanted me to send it somewhere else instead of using the Ebay label. I contacted Ebay and the service lady just told me to keep the item. They ended up closing the case.
